Mark Whitwell has taught yoga for over three decades throughout the Americas, Asia, Europe, Australia, Fiji, and New Zealand. He is interested in developing an authentic yoga practice for the individual, based on Krishnamacharya's teachings and those of his son TKV Desikachar, with whom Mark enjoyed a relationship for more than twenty years.
Mark strives for his teachings to clarify the profound relevance of ancient wisdom within the context of contemporary life. He views yoga as the participation of the union of opposites, and this principle is paramount to the teachings at peace yoga gallery.
““Wherever you are, wherever you go, you are the power of the cosmos arising as pure intelligence and unspeakable beauty.””
As one of his students, Cheri Rae works to foster the heart of yoga at her studio. This work involves recognizing that the body is already perfect and should not be bullied into extreme asana practices. Yoga is instead an actual relationship with who you love and who love's you.
